Got this at auction in april(thanks Fred for the tip), but chrono did not work on arrival. Finally just got it back from service and now running fine and looks not half bad. Hopefully it's all original but with scary fake/franken rates who knows? The answer is you guys    Thanks for looking, Cheers, David |

Nice. Put the correct size strap on it now.

Nice watch! It was sold at an auction in NY right? I followed this one... Numerals clearly have great shape. The ONLY thing which restrained me (except the fact that I am in France - so far from NY- and don't have enough confidence in this auction house to buy only on pictures) is the slight mark at the base of the 2. Now looking at your picture it is quite strange indeed... We should wait for Fred to come back with a reference picture to compare and conclude |

stop worrying, David no loupe at hand and no macro lens, but zoomed in on one of my pics. there is a slight streaking in your dial, but I'd say it is a miniscule production error, no refinisher ever got this close to perfect.

Thanks so much Fred, really appreciate you taking the time. Have been starring at it with loupe last 2 hours and have come to the same conclusion. So much of it just looks correct. But correct from me is a far cry from correct from you  )Very happy camper. And yes, will need a correct size strap. |

Not sure neither! Probably did not look well enough the first time as as Fred confirms, you have a very rare and nice watch! Congratulations! |
